Trying to find error

[DevonNullman]

I am brand new to AutoIt3, I have a script that is meant to dump the NTFS $MFT (Master File Table). It compiles with no errors but when I execute the program created I get this in a dialog:

Line 21644 (File "C:\Users\Devon\Documents\MFT Project\NTFS_Sysfiles_Extracter_v1.8\MFTDump.exe");

Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.

The script source is 2482 lines, I am wondering if there is any correlation between Line 21644 and a line in the source.

Using the AutoIt Debugger (Version 0.45.0.36843), I see no window open, only this in the Output pane of the debugger:

>Running AU3Check (1.54.22.0) from:C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3

+>09:08:32 AU3Check ended.rc:0

>Running:(3.3.8.1):C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\autoit3_x64.exe "C:\Users\Devon\Documents\MFT Project\NTFS_Sysfiles_Extracter_v1.8\MFTDump.au3"

+>09:08:34 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:0

Cheers,

Run your code from scite4autoit editor, it will give the true line in the console window.

DevonNullman,

Your script may only have 2482 lines, but you no doubt have some include files which increase the total number considerably.

I take it you have tried running this from within SciTE to see if the same error pops up?

If it only appears when compiled, try running Obfuscator on your script with the /mergeonly parameter - then you will get a fully merged file where the line number reflects the error line. Once you have fixed the problem, you can return to your normal Obfuscator settings.

I assume you mean "Go" (F5) ?

This is what I get from that command:

>"C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3SciTE..autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:UsersDevonDocumentsMFT ProjectNTFS_Sysfiles_Extracter_v1.8MFTDump.au3"

>Exit code: 0 Time: 2.980

I obfuscated the script, using /mergeonly and the line number for the error changed of course to line #26972

That line in the obfuscated code reads as follows:

$A552328035C = ''

It is declared as local - Local $A552328035C and is used in a few places as a number:

If $A552328035C = StringLen($A3F13780431) Then

$A552328035C = Number($A1333482F5A)

Else

$A552328035C += Number($A2833581254)

EndIf

So I am still completely lost, been trying to match the obfuscated code to the plain code but so far no luck.

As far as I can see Obfuscator just has a "/striponly" option but not a "/mergeonly".

As far as I can see Obfuscator just has a "/striponly" option but not a "/mergeonly".

I put these 2 lines at the top of the script below "#Region"

#Autoit3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y ;Run Obfuscator before compilation. default=n

#Obfuscator_Parameters= /mergeonly

Change /mergeonly to /striponly

[Melba23]

DevonNullman,

That snippet of your Obfuscated file looks as if it has been properly obfuscated - /mergeonly should not convert your variables like that. I have just tested and it does not for me.

Perhaps you do not have the latest beta Obfuscator version with the /mergeonly code and so are doing a standard obfuscation because the new parameter is not recognised - you can download the latest version here.

Yes, but not everyone uses the beta, after all, it is a beta.
